    Welll...  I went ahead and tested it on my diskless workstation,
    which actually has a DMA IDE drive connected to it at the moment
    for another test I'm running.

    I didn't see any change in performance.  That doesn't meant that
    hasn't been a chance, just that it doesn't look like the one thing
    I thought might be causing it is causing it.

    Are you sure the problem isn't simply that your disk is getting
    a bit more full and causing the test to skip around more ( or move
    to more inner tracks, which have lower transfer rates), and
    thus appear to slow down a little ?
